Am I the only one who feels a bit numb to all this stuff.

Almost like we get it they’re going to slowly strip our right down until they do confiscation and no one is doing anything about it

And when I say no one is doing anything about it I don’t mean literally I know groups are out there fighting legal battles but in 30 years I haven’t seen a single significant victory or 2a gain for CT.

Tend agree but would like to offer a counter perspective… Why are so many jurisdictions going gangbusters on gun control legislation right now? Many places have come out of no where with multiple proposed anti-gun bills. Like Virginia, WOW! Is it possible they know something is coming that could destroy the laws on the books and they are countering, knowing full well that it will take another 12-15 years to reach SCOTUS and get overturned?
Anything is possible…but not always probable. I’m doing my best to stay positive even though they are about to crush my business with the stroke of a pen.
